Utopia has no official religion. Utopus had authorized all people to worship in any faith they chose. People could only be persuaded to join a religion. Utopian customs are partly a criticism of European religion because while Utopians had religious freedom, the Roman Catholic Church was the only authoritative doctrine. Utopian priests were holy, committed, and few, whereas European priests were lazy ad corrupt.
